A new study led by King’s College London has found that chemotherapy helps attract a specific population of immune cells called stem-like T cells toward tumors.
A multi-institutional collaborative study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center has identified a previously unknown biological mechanism that controls cell identity and treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer.
Adelaide University researchers have found a DNA “switch” that helps the body stop the growth of the most common form of breast cancer, providing new insights that could help with future treatments
The current standard of care involves the use of temozolomide (TMZ), a chemotherapy medication. However, the tumor can be difficult to control because cancer cells evolve to evade the effects of such treatments. Thus, finding new ways to target these cells is an important area in cancer research.
Smartwatches may be able to detect hypertension (high blood pressure) with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) system that interprets sensor readings, a paper in Nature reports.
A small subset of vulnerable DNA sites can make cancer cells highly sensitive to targeted drugs called PARP inhibitors, a new study shows.
A personalized cancer vaccine could help prevent melanoma from returning after surgery. Sutter investigators Dr. Kevin Kim, oncologist and chief of precision medicine at Sutter Health, and Dr. Mohammed Kashani-Sabet, medical director of Sutter CPMC’s Cancer Center, led Sutter’s participation in the phase 2 KEYNOTE-942 study that helped make possible this advance.
A team of McGill University researchers has developed a putty-like electrode that molds to the skin to improve treatment and monitoring of voice disorders and upper airway diseases.
How can we efficiently collect light returning from tissues while also identifying what it tells us about blood flow in the deeper tissues?
The brain’s own clearance mechanisms are most active during sleep. Researchers have now shown that this natural clearance process can also be enhanced while people are awake.
